Not husband, fiancee, and they've not been together a full year yet. He says he's a democrat, but has donated to Republicans as well (Susan Collins just last year, to name one, and it was over 24k).

I am a huge fan of a number of our green spaces in the city. Tommy Thompson park, Biidisaage, and Taylor Creek/the Don Valley trails are all fantastic and not as well known as the ones in the West end. Biidissage only opened up over the last year or two, and it's reconnected the Don River to the lake and it's beautifully done and designed.

Partner and I recently went to the FreePlay Arcade Bar for the first time and really enjoyed it. They've got some good pinball options. It's near College and Spadina.

Food!

I had two other reccs originally (Mahas and Dil Se Indian), and I still stand by them but they're def known to be great. Mahas (Egyptian food) you have to show up early cuz they don't do reservations.

Two places near Greenwood/Coxwell stations:

Tata's Jerk Chicken. Just get the regular sandwich, don't change anything. Get it cut in half. It's so good. They're shut on Sundays as a heads up.

Pomarosa, it's Venezuelan and they have delicious arepas.

The pockets thing is 100% more of an issue for anyone wearing women's pants. Mine are 50/50, and the difference is very annoying.

I don't really get the ones that are tablet sized but fold down to phone size, but I do love my regular sized phone that folds in half.

It fits in all my pockets, it's easier to carry in my hands, the folding in half is great for using the flashlight and the camera because you can be hands free, and while you could have this on a non folding phone I do really like the half screen on the back.

I did break mine eventually after a year, but that is honestly pretty par for the course for me - and it was fixable. In its defence I am officially clutzy and drop things regularly, and also it fell out of my pocket at one point and got driven over by an SUV (and it still worked for another month, I was impressed. I dropped it one last time a month later and the screen detached at the fold and the hinge went askew).
